Hello -- Voting has closed for the Call for Votes on bids to host ITP-2011, as announced on Feb. 18 (see http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kaufmann/itp-2011-bids.html). The result was computed using VoteEngine 0.99, downloaded from http://vote.sourceforge.net/, and the output is shown below. (I also wrote my own little program to compute each round and checked that its results completely agreed with those of VoteEngine. I also checked and fixed spelling typos.)
Congratulations to the team from The Netherlands on its winning bid! And thank you to all of those who submitted bids, which we found to be very impressive. In the output below, we have of course: C = China D = Denmark N = Netherlands S = Spain U = USA .......... VOTES 61 IRV Cand Plurality score N 12 S 9 C 17 D 9 U 14 Unresolved Tie .......... So I resolved the tie by branching: In one run, I removed Spain while in the other, I instead removed Denmark. The respective results are below. (Note: 3 people voted only for Denmark while 1 person voted only for Spain, which explains the discrepancy in "VOTES".) .......... removing Spain: .......... VOTES 60 IRV Cand Plurality score N 17 C 17 D 11 U 15 Cand Plurality score N 20 C 21 U 16 Cand Plurality score N 33 C 24 Winner N .......... removing Denmark: ..........
